4
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 4. Christ does not teach us to pray for afflictions of the body, but always enjoins us to pray, that we may not enter into temptation. When, therefore, temptation attacks us, we must beg of God grace to withstand it, that the promise in Saint Matthew (chap. 10) may be fulfilled in us, he who perseveres to the end shall be saved. S. Bede in Reg. Brev. 221.
